Please join us for a screening of the award-winning film Beasts of No Nation. Set in an unnamed West African country, the film centers on a young boy forced to join a group of mercenaries after his family is killed during a civil war.
Adapted by director Cary Joji Fukunaga from the 2005 novel by Nigerian American author Uzodinma Iweala, Beasts of No Nation gives an intense account of the life of child soldiers and the brutalities of civil war. Our presentation of the film marks the release of Open Society’s publication Partnership Paradox: The Post-Conflict Reconstruction of Liberia’s Education System.
A Q&A session with author Uzodinma Iweala will follow the screening, which will begin promptly at 5:15 p.m. A reception will begin at 5:00 p.m.
